The Pottery and Ceramic course takes place in a workshop nearby the school, where students are
given the chance to learn an ancient form of craft. The course provides them with the necessary skills
to work with clay using the pottery wheel as well as hand paint their creations.
For this kind of work, the control of the movements and of the force applied to the matter are essential.
So first, the students learn how to handle the clay (for example they will learn to move the clay
to its center of gravity so it can keep its balance for the whole shaping process) and how to use the
tools necessary to work with it on the pottery wheel.
Afterwards they will shape their creations and apply the finishing touches such as details, handles
and decorations.
It is also possible to focus only on the decorating techniques by working on ceramic items already
made.
The school is equipped with a kiln that students can use to fire their works, paying a small extra fee
that vary depending on the size of the artifact.
